Merly payneJuly 9, 2018small but mighty. I was expecting more artifacts, but I thought the interactive elements were very well done, and I came out with a new list of authors to add to my reading list.- KaitlinMay 9, 2018Excellent museum for anyone who loves American lit! $12 admission was totally worth it! Kind of small, but you’ll be able to fully enjoy each exhibit!
Joel&Megan HilgendorfApril 20, 2019Small, price higher then I’d prefer, but great interactive elements and middle/high school students would learn so much. MPlease give teachers a larger discount.
Becca AllenSeptember 16, 2019Small but well-thought-out, full of fun interactivity. Bring a notebook because you’re going to want to take notes on the authors and books you learn about!- Christopher BrooksDecember 18, 2019This museum is fantastic! While it's only a single floor, my dad and I were there for hours. Definitely check out this place!
- David WeathersbyAugust 8, 2017Absolutely incredible experience. So good to see author honored in this way.

"There's only a few things on display at a time so don't go in expecting to see hundreds of works of art. Either way, it's a cool little place with some great art."
